Looking good!

While still waiting for some shop space, the parts prep and clean-up continues on GoldMember..

I finished my first pass with the CC550.

Before: (with 20% done)




After:
I think this will do for awhile. (excuse my portable storage & mess in the background...)





I also plan on some mechanical polishing effort to work a bit on the wiper swath, then I will seal it all and call it good for now.

I also picked up a set of Strong Arm lower control arms to replace the old school originals which will also allow me to run the sway bar I have (much like the muscle Bar with end links)..

Well finally, its been way to long already, but I got Goldmember into the shop for some much needed love and attention.

First order of business was to snatch the hood off while my son was home over the weekend. After he left, I kept right on working.. I attacked the front clip carefully taking it apart and bagging/tagging everything as I went.

Here are a few shots of how things look after hiding out 47 years.. Not bad at all!




I also took a couple shots showing the current ride height of the rear wheel well and rear bumper..



It was getting late, and after riding a Century (100 mile bike ride) on Saturday, I was tired decided to stop here for the night.

I did however take a moment and start assembling the seats, here is a shot showing them with 73 up Blazer brackets, but of course they will get changed. Console is overall in great shape, will most likely leave it for now except I may put a better trim piece on it as the chrome has a couple spots not so nice..




More to come, pulling the engine / trans tonight.
